About this ebook

A walk down memory lane for anyone born in those distant pre-internet decades, packed with pop culture trivia.

Whether you grew up watching The Huckleberry Hound Show, Jonny Quest, or Sesame Street, this cultural encyclopedia is sure to draw you into a nostalgic and fun-filled read that you just can’t put down.

Pop culture aficionado David Mansour spent eighteen years accumulating an extensive collection of dolls, lunch boxes, board games, TV memorabilia, and other items from the 1960s through the 1990s. That fascination, along with his lifelong habit of making lists—from “best toys” to “all-time coolest singers”—were the genesis for this wide-ranging volume of Boomer and Generation X treasures.

Discover little-known trivia and rediscover Farrah Fawcett's feathered hair; Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn; Banana Splits, banana clips, and banana seats; Lost in Space, Woodstock—it’s all here in more than 3,000 references arranged alphabetically!
